I HAVE BEEN IN MY BED, staring at the ceiling ever since Saturday night. It's now Monday, and Mom let me stay home for just today.

My phone has been going off so much that I powered it off. The girls, except Maya, and my brothers have been in my room, trying to get me to talk or eat. I haven't really talked to Nick since he knew the secret, and he didn't tell me.

I still have my hair and my makeup on, and the only reason I didn't have on my dress is because Madison made me change.

Is this what heartbreak does to you?

I just don't understand why he lied and said he never had a girlfriend. I would have been okay if I knew, but no, it kept that a secret from me.

And this is why I don't trust people. One minute you think they are the best thing in the whole world, then before you know what happened, you are the one left crying.

"Knock, knock," Madison said, opening my door.

I looked at her with no emotion, and she sighed as she shut the door. She walked over to my bed, and she sat on the edge.

Madison is leaving tomorrow morning, and that's another reason I'm sad. She's suppose to move back in three weeks, but that's too long.

"Campbell, I hate seeing you like this. Do you want something to eat?" She asked me, tapping her finger on my bed.

I shook my head, remaining silent. I don't feel like eating or talking or even sleeping. I feel numb.

"You need a shower. You look like Pennywise," Madison joked with a tiny smile.

"I don't feel like it," I croaked out.

"Campbell, I love you, you know that, but you can't keep doing this. It's not healthy, and you are just giving him the satisfaction," Madison said, getting off of my bed. She walked over to the window, and she threw the curtains open, letting the sun shine into the room.

I hissed as I looked over at the window. Memories of Brent sneaking in my room to comfort me or watch movies with me. I remember one night we stayed up all night watching a tv show, and we slept the whole next day.

Tears built up in my eyes, and I wiped them away before they fell. Anything I do, makes me think about him.

"Have you ever been through a break up?" I asked Madison, looking at her.

She nodded,"One time before Gavin. He was everything to me, and he cheated on me with three different girls. I know exactly how you feel. The numbness that overtakes your whole body. It sucks, but with time, it will go away, and you will be happy again."

"It doesn't feel like it," I said, playing with my hands.

"I have known Brent for three years. I had no idea, and I never would have thought he would do that to you or any girl," Madison said with her hands on her hips.

"You know what really hurts is that he could have told me that truth when we were having the talk. Instead, he kept the lie going. He did it before, and he lied about it. Like who does that?" I said, wiping more tears away.

I'm so tired of crying all the time.

"Come on, I know exactly what you need," Madison said, holding her hand out for me to grab.

I titled my head. "I don't know. This bed is pretty comfortable."

"Please," Madison begged, making me out my hand in hers.

She led me to the bathroom, and she made me sit on the counter.  She grabbed a makeup wipe, and she started to wipe off my ruined makeup.

After fifteen minutes, she was finally done, and she started some bath water. She made it a bubble bath, and she turned on some music for me.

"Thank you, Mads," I thanked as she was leaving the bathroom.

She nodded,"Anytime. I know you would do the same for me."

And with that she left the bathroom, leaving me alone to my thoughts. I undressed, and I got into the nice hot bubble bath.

I laid my head back against the tub, and I closed my eyes, trying my best to relax. After twenty minutes of relaxing, I washed my hair and my body.

The water was getting cold so I got out of the bath. I dried myself off before putting on sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt.

As I opened the door, I heard low mumbling outside my bedroom door. I quietly closed the bathroom door behind me before standing still.

"I just want to see her, please, Madison, please," Brent begged, and my heart hurt from the pain in his voice.

"I can't do that, Brent. How could you? After everything you two have been through, how could you do that to her?" Madison asked him, angrily.

"I was scared of loosing her! I thought if I told her, I would loose her. Madison, I can't live without her. She is my everything. Please just let me talk to her, please."

A silent tear rolled down my cheek, and I wiped it away.

"I can't do that. She is in pain right now because of you. Brent, I will always be your friend, and I will always love you, but you don't need to be around her," Madison told him, sternly.

"I promised her that I wasn't going to leave her. She needs to know that I'm not leaving her," Brent said, and I heard hear him trying to get the door open.

"Brent," Dad's voice said, firm. "Your mother wants you home now."

Brent was silent for moment before saying,"Campbell, if you can hear me, please just know that I'm not leaving you, and I love you. Please remember that."

I sunk to the floor as I heard him leave. My heart was shattered, and all I could was just sit there with tears rolling down my cheeks.

My brothers are upset with Brent and Maya. Nick and I haven't spoken two words to each since Saturday night, and Maya hasn't even tried to explain herself.

Heartbroken is exactly the word I would describe myself.

I never thought Brent would be the one to do it, but here we are.
